Chapter 1108: Character Riddles
Then, in the time that followed, Lu Xi, who had just sent the dragon knight away and thought that he could take it a little easier, suddenly became nervous again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the days that followed, he felt as if he had returned to his college days, where he stayed up late day and night to get credits to write papers and reports. In order to prove a point of view, we have to search for chapters and sentences to explore that little bit of argument, and the hard work must be carefully handed over, so that others can pick up and down with a critical eye, just like choosing pork...... However, this is true higher education! If you don't have such awareness, if you don't have such suffering, then don't say that you are being educated! Happy Education? What the hell is that? Do you believe that the superior people use it to fool the stupid people at the bottom? Do you also regard it as a wise saying?
The difference is that even for students from prestigious universities, the requirements for credits and graduation reports are not as strict as imagined, but the research results as scholars are very different. To get it to the academic circles of various countries to publish and discuss, to form an influence and create a sensational effect, this is not an advertorial that can be concocted by the media and public intellectuals to express two sentences of love casually, let alone (even if it is a handicap party) writers can code thousands of online novels in a day.
…… In other words, I'm obviously a dignified protagonist of the time-travel! Divine purification and demon hunting, dominating the Six Realms, fighting for hegemony in all directions, living in eight places, plus a big crystal palace, should be a race task, right? After the crossing, I was going to write a thesis and make a report, when have you ever seen it?
However, Lu Xi could only complain like this. What is the saying? Oh yes, pull it yourself...... Ah no, the path you chose has to be completed on your knees!
"Our paper can't make logical mistakes, and it can't leave any glaring flaws or grit that could be easily caught. Again, what we're doing is historical research, not political research, well...... I did have this plan, from the Gil Salad Empire to the present Auckland, to write a book entitled "The Gains and Losses of Imperial Politics through the Ages", but this will have to be said after the age of forty. In short, as a historical study, we do not need to draw conclusions, but simply objectively write down the true political, economic and cultural landscape of the end of the Golden Empire. Lu Xi said this to the members of the research team.
"That's what I've always done! I'm just a historical researcher, I don't understand politics, and I really don't dare to understand it! Whether or not we can get something out of our research is a matter for the big guys! Professor Yavaru agreed.
"In fact, mortals always repeat all the mistakes of history, and I am a treasure hunter who is even more afraid to talk about politics. However, everything in the past is a legacy left by predecessors, and it is one thing to make good use of the inheritance, but it is another thing to discard the inheritance at will! Professor Jones said, "Our work will restore these legacies, and if we can do that, it will be enough......
Yes, academically it's up to you, just leave it to me! Lu Xi secretly rejoiced.
In any case, with the help of such a team that can be said to be the most professional in the field of history at present, "Sunset of the Golden Empire", which is sprinkled with nearly 100,000 words, finally completed the outline, various segmented exposition outlines, and the collection of various supporting and circumstantial evidence and the filling of arguments at the end of September. All that's left is to fill the fully formed skeleton with flesh and blood.
Fortunately, the essay is not a novel after all, and the requirements for writing are not so high, as long as it is an ordinary copywriting that is logical, well-organized, and able to reach the meaning when the pen is written, it can be done. It may seem like a lot of 100,000 words, but it's already the easiest job in a paper.
Professor Yavaru gave the work to his students Sias and Gina, and he and Professor Jones supervised and refined it, and finally the first draft was completed, and the three co-signed authors (Lu Xi and the two professors) re-edited it, and it was basically completed. Prior to this, Professor Yavaru had also persuaded his old employer, Redmountain University, that once the paper was completed, it would be published in a segmented journal - this is also the traditional mode of publishing papers at Neosfia University.
Of course, since it is supervision and improvement, this also means that the main work of the three authors is also completed, and it is finally possible to take a little rest. Professor Yavaru was a little surprised by this, he had always thought that according to common sense, this report might take the whole team a year and a half.
"This must be thanks to the first-hand information! When most of us historical researchers record papers, we can only go to the library at any time to spend money to borrow rare and ancient books. Well, if it's a computer, maybe we'll only need a week. ”
Because they didn't know what the hell a computer was, the professors felt that Lu Xi was really a humble person!
"No, I should thank you even more! Do you know how difficult it is to find someone in a historical research group who can master ancient languages such as dragons, ancient elves, and titans, which are almost difficult for mortals to grasp, as if they were their native tongues, and can easily decipher all kinds of ancient magic runes? Professor Jones complimented.
Since you praise me so sincerely, I will accept it as a matter of course, anyway, what the system gives me is mine, and what I have practiced by myself is still mine. Lu Xi thought.
Of course, since the professors' work has finally eased up, they have a little leisure to do something else.
"Now that I have a little time to spare, I would like to identify and label some of the things we picked up from the dimensional treasure trove." Professor Yavaru said.
"Oh, speaking of which, I'm also curious about the origin of that bronze brand."
The harvest of this adventure, in addition to the friends sweeping away the treasures piled up on the entrance of the Treasure of Kings, that is, the treasure left by Goldbeard Drake to future generations, what they got was the subsequent capture of the gold coin game.
The most valuable of Goldbeard Drake's treasures is naturally the Activation Heart of the ship left on the White Elk that month. However, it was nothing more than a weakened version of the Moonlight Ark, but it hadn't decided where to go yet. Tempest has considered fusing the Heart of Activation with a certain ship of the Chamber of Commerce, and as for the Moon White Elk, it will be placed on the yacht dock as an exhibit, which can also show the huge strength of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. However, now that there is more Freda, a descendant of the Golden-bearded Drake, he will stop for the time being. Now, the Activated Heart and the Moonwhite Elk, which is shrunk and disguised in a bottle, are stored in the treasure trove beneath the building.
As for the harvest of the friends who then played the gold coin game, it was quite rich, although compared with the treasure that fell in the sea within a radius of thousands of miles, it can be described as a drop in the bucket, and this is also the harvest that Lu Xi confirmed as soon as he got on the boat - as an RPG protagonist, if he really didn't gain anything after pushing the boss, it would make his heart stuff for a long time.
The treasures have been confirmed, and they have been distributed to everyone. However, only the bronze plaque that Lim picked up at the last moment, even Lu Xi, a sealer with kryptonite eyes, couldn't recognize the calendar at all.
Yes, even if it was handed over to Lu Xi, there was only one explanation: "This is the key to open an ancient mechanism".
…… Well, the quest items related to the main plot are basically this sharpening urine narrative, which is very RPG, and it is indeed very dramatic! Lu Xi said that it was simply acceptable...... Yaya's baba is weird!
Lu Xi felt very lost, he felt that he was invincible and invincible in the world Kryptonite Dog Eye had encountered a challenge for the first time, if he didn't make a breakthrough, it would really violate the dignity of a protagonist! What's more, a thing in the treasure of kings, something that Lim's sixth sense considers to be very valuable, if it were just an ordinary key, even a fool wouldn't believe it, right? However, at that time, there were still a large number of demons under his feet and a very bad giant black gate to deal with, so Lu Xi could only give up for the time being. And what happened after that was really one after another, and finally there was a busy and noisy August, and he almost forgot about it.
"You once said that the bronze plate was a key, didn't you?"
"Yes. And the engraving on it is indeed in the style of the era of the Age of the Gods, and it is carved in dome script, among which there is also the emblem of the sun god Hetesis. I guess it's something very important. "Of course, Lu Xi is not good at teaching ordinary people like them that he understands (theoretically) the heavenly script that mortals cannot master. However, the sad thing is that he knows the dome on the bronze plaque, but he can't recognize it at all...... Or maybe it's some kind of god-specific spell made up of dome scripts, right? For example, the song of divine punishment that Sister Nadia taught her before.
But even so, Lu Xi still didn't know what step he had mastered.
"It's actually quite embarrassing." Lu Xi said to others.
"The last time I was looking for information, I saw a book like this......" The professor took out a booklet full of various color labels from the mountain of materials, which looked very thick, at least two or three hundred pages. If you look closely, you can see that the pages are marked with very bright colors, and the sides are filled with his own annotations.
"This is a historical document left by the Titans, but it should have been recorded before the establishment of the Gil Salad Empire, which is not of much help to our current research, so we didn't pay much attention to it."
"And what are you doing with such serious annotations?" Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy.
"This ......," the professor smiled embarrassedly, "It's just a change of mind in your spare time, hehe, it's just a normal rest." ”
…… Studying the history of the last years of the Gil Salad Empire, is the usual way to change your mind in your leisure time to find a fault to interpret the history of giants? Well, that's a powerful reason! What's the difference between this and a theoretical physicist saying that I'm tired from studying string theory, why don't I study dark matter when I'm resting? If it weren't for Professor Yavaru being such a herbivore-based liberal arts and technology nerd, Lu Xi might have really thought that the other party was pretending to be X, and then he couldn't help but shoot a fireball directly in someone's face.
"This, hehe, the Titan Giant civilization is my business after all!" The professor was disturbed, but still smiled embarrassedly: "Compared with the court and political history of the late Golden Empire, which is not so familiar, casually taking a little note on the most familiar subjects can really be regarded as resting." ”
Lu Xi really wanted to throw a fireball into the other party's face, well, or a vacuum burst is also good, although it is indeed very awe-inspiring. However, after all, he couldn't do this, so he could only sigh wordlessly, show a sunny smile, take the notes that the other party had opened, and then on the first page that came into view, there was a rather visual pattern of lines.
"Isn't it a bit similar?" Professor Yavaru said.
"Well, indeed...... There are indeed similarities with the patterns on the bronze plaque we found, but it is a little simpler. Lu Xi nodded: "However, this heraldic map should be filled in with some words in the subtleties, right?" How is it a blur? ”
"Huh? Is it? That, in fact, in my eyes, there are many patterns on the bronze plaque that are also blurred, which is very similar to this picture! ”
Lu Xi was slightly stunned, then reacted immediately, and couldn't help patting his head. The bronze tablet, known as the "Key", was engraved with a number of dome scripts, the so-called celestial scripts, which were as magical as the dragon language used by the true dragons, the giant language used by the Titans, and most of the arcane runes used by mages today for their spell structures and spell combinations. The difference is that arcane runes can be deciphered with a certain amount of spiritual power, while as for dragon language and giant language, ordinary people who lack strong mental power can write ...... In other words, I can barely understand their meanings after drawing, but I can hardly pronounce them, let alone exert the power of words and spirits contained in them. This is the reason why the professor is already an expert in giant language, but his knowledge of rainstorm whispers is basically blank.
However, the Dome Script is the real so-called Celestial Divine Language, which is a level higher than the Dragon Language and the Giant Language, and each text has a higher dimensional secrecy and truth, and does not have a certain strength realm, either a person with extraordinary strength who has a certain understanding of the truth of the world and the law of power, or cannot even remember its shape. And the ordinary lead block printing machine is naturally impossible.
In the Great Sanctuary, all the higher divine techniques that required the use of the Dome were recorded in a very expensive way. The so-called "cheats scrolls" are naturally important treasures.
Occult! It's always been anti-science! Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh.
“…… In other words, these ambiguities should also be domes, right? The professor nodded, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: "I really envy a magic master with strong mental power like you!" Hey, if I knew it would be so convenient for research, I should have studied magic when I was younger. ”
Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and smiled disapprerovingly, as if he hadn't heard, and then began to read the words outside the heraldic drawing.
These words ...... Well, I think, maybe more of a password. Half of them seem to be able to be interpreted by giants, but the translated content is all chickens and ducks, which is completely illogical. As for the other half, I can't understand it at all" Speaking of this, the professor couldn't help but shudder: "...... I just feel particularly uncomfortable reading a line or two, with a dizzy and cold piercing feeling. ”
"Then you'd better not read it." Lu Xi glanced at those treacherous characters and took a deep breath: "This is the abyssal language, which is what we call the demon language. ”
"Evil, demonic ......" Not only did Professor Yavaru be taken aback, but even Professor Jones, who had been in a hundred battles, couldn't help but shake a spirit, only to feel as if a poisonous snake had penetrated the back of his neck.
"It's not surprising. It's hard to imagine that in the early or even middle Age of the Gods, Ramsed's Abyssal Descendants couldn't really be called the root of all evil in the world. The Abyss and the Titan also have a limited relationship, and the Giants, Dragons, and Abyssal Languages are all languages that extend from the Dome Script, tens of thousands of years earlier than the Elven languages of our modern human language. In the early days, the Demon and the Giant were mixed and matched, and it was possible to form some kind of password string, which was still a popular and interesting game at the time. Even in the late Age of the Gods, the demons were fully recognized as the root of all evil in the world, and there were still many royal nobles and great magicians who liked this kind of anagram. Maybe you think you can test your IQ? ”
"Gufta character labyrinth?" Professor Jones was slightly stunned, and then uttered a term.
"Oh, you know!"
“…… No, I just recorded this concept in an ancient book, but I have never seen it in kind. ”
Without waiting for the two professors to continue to ask something, Lu Xi had already begun to silently interpret and enjoy, however, after a few seconds, he suddenly put down the book and stood up, and his whole breath was solemn.
“…… Master, you ......"
"No, don't care, Professor, it just seems that there is still some business to be resolved. Sorry, I have to go back soon. That's all I have to leave to you, sorry! Lu Xi once again showed an impeccable business smile, but quietly stuffed the book full of notes into his pocket. (To be continued.) )
